Open 107

A huge brand-new art space is opening in Redfern, and to celebrate, everyone's invited to come and have a stickybeak around. You'll be free to wander around artists' open studios and get yourself covered in paint during workshops if you're so inclined. For others who prefer to just watch and listen, there are poetry readings, a preview of Gareth Davies and Charlie Garber's new show, live music from Nick Casey, and a barbecue.

Overview

For those of you who find the idea of going on safari to see some artists in their natural habitat (as opposed to art gallery captivity), 107 Projects is putting on Open 107. To celebrate the opening of their new venue in Redfern, they're opening their doors to let the public have a stickybeak around. Once you're there, you'll see more cutting-edge art than you can poke a stick at. Just mind that you don't poke the artists (they don't like that kind of thing).

You'll be free to wander around artists' open studios and get yourself covered in paint during workshops if you're so inclined. For others who prefer to just watch and listen while keeping their hands clean, there are poetry readings, a preview of Gareth Davies and Charlie Garber's show Masterclass, live music by Nick Casey and some BBQ action.

On the day, you can also check out (yep, you guessed it) even more art with an exhibition curated by Michelle McCosker (also to be part of Art and About) that looks at modernism: Why White?

Phew, so much art.
